What are non-comedogenic products?

Skin hydration is essential for all skin types, although you have to know how to choose the right cosmetic products. What an adventure, right?

In beauty, knowing our skin type is paramount, and to understand what non-comedogenic means, we will focus on oily skin. Its characteristics are evident to the naked eye, as it has high sebum production, and those who suffer from it find it particularly difficult to hide the shine that predominates in the forehead, nose, and chin area.

People with oily skin usually have more dilated pores and are prone to blackheads, closed comedones, and acne, which is why it is so important to maintain good cleansing with a cleanser that purifies the skin and balances the skin barrier, which is often compromised.

And suddenly, we return to the beginning: "skin hydration is essential for all skin types, even oily skin." That's right, dehydrated oily skin tends to generate even more sebum, and it is undoubtedly counterproductive.

At Levid, we always say that each skin is unique and, therefore, needs a specific treatment to obtain the best results.

Benefits of non-comedogenic cosmetic products

A non-comedogenic product is able to provide the desired hydration with sebum-regulating active ingredients that control oil production and prevent clogged pores, making it essential for oily skin. Although you always have to evaluate the overall formula of each product, there are highly effective non-comedogenic essential oils, which are very important in facial cleansing and exfoliation to prevent the appearance of and treat dilated pores.

Non-comedogenic oils

Calendula oil, argan oil, grape seed oil, and rosehip oil are present in our moisturizers, which you can find here 👈 and we can label them as non-comedogenic since they are essential for keeping pores free, clean, and unclogged. Keep in mind that pores neither disappear nor close, but we can improve their appearance if we reduce their size, which is directly related to blackheads or "pimples."

A dilated pore facilitates the accumulation of sebum, keratin, pigment, and dead cells inside. When these cellular remains mixed with oil come into contact with the outside and pollution, they oxidize, get dirty, and darken, which is why it is so important to maintain good cleansing both day and night.

Remember, in cosmetics, choosing the right products based on the skin's needs should always be the first step, and oily skin is no exception. A non-comedogenic product and consistency are YOUR best option!
